My nimrod RWNJ Trumper sister-in-law (wife's younger sister) is coming to see my mother-in-law next weekend. My MIL's full time home nurse requires anybody coming into the house to wear a mask. Everybody in the house and my wife and I are all vaccinated but we still take the extra precautions to protect my MIL who has multiple health issues. My SIL also works in home health care but I have no idea if she's gotten the vaccine. Considering her political views I would place the chance as being somewhat lower than 50%. We got a call about an hour go with the SIL screaming at the top of her lungs about having to wear a mask while she was at the house and flat out said she wasn't going to do it. I'd like to bar her from the house but it's not my call and I don't really know how I could enforce it since we'll be out of town. I don't just don't understand why being asked to wear a mask is such a big deal. :mad2:

Anyway, just venting. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Your MIL's nurse will know exactly how to handle your SIL.

One of my coworkers who fits squarely within one of the demographics most resistant to getting vaccinated has been admitted to the hospital with Covid. Another anti-vax coworker, who was e-chatting with a fellow anti-vax coworker during our last team meeting, both of them clearly snickering when our supervisor was talking about bonuses for individual employees (and extra bonuses for teams) who get vaccinated, is.....wait for it....having bad enough symptoms to have now missed three days of work (from home) in a row. I'm half expecting to hear that he will be hospitalized next.

The CDC now says that the Delta Variant is as contagious as chickenpox.

If you are old enough to remember life before the chickenpox vaccine you know that is pretty darn contagious!

We may not yet have experienced peak Covid hospitalizations.

Trump is to blame for politicizing the vaccines and masks. :mad:

WaPo had an excellent article on the delta variant today. Delta is scary!

Jon and I were running errands this afternoon. The Dollar Store was packed and almost no one was wearing a mask.

Then we hit the grocery store in our neighborhood. We live in the over-educated socialist swine part of the city. A lot of folks were wearing masking inside the store. There is no mask mandate at the grocery store.

Today was an interesting look at life during a pandemic.

Sydney anti-lockdown protest fears ease after no-one turns up

Key organisers and influencers who helped drive last week's protest warned their tens of thousands of followers to avoid gathering today.

Anti-lockdown groups on Telegram, which the ABC has chosen not to name, said none of its known organisers had any plans for a Saturday protest.

The ABC found last week's rally was spearheaded by a German-based conspiracy group who also organised similar marches in Melbourne and Queensland.

Messaging, including graphics and instructions for protesters, was then picked up by local anti-vaccination and anti-lockdown groups in NSW.

The same German group organised worldwide "freedom" rallies in May but made no official posts about any planned protests today.
————
NSW Police have so far charged 85 people and issued over 300 personal infringement notices to people who attended last weekend's unauthorised protest.

Last night, a 49-year-old man from the Central Coast was charged with criminal offences relating to the incitement of the protest.

Vegans exempt from compulsory Covid vaccinations, legal experts warn

By Rachael Burford
21 hours ago

Vegans would be exempt from compulsory workplace Covid vaccinations and employers risk legal action if they insist workers are double-jabbed, experts say.

An estimated half a million Britons who do not consume animal products would not have to adhere to so-called “jabs for jobs” rules under employment laws, it has been claimed.

Big firms, including Netflix and Google, have already told many US staff they must be vaccinated before returning to work and Foreign secretary Dominic Raab said on Thursday that the rule was “smart policy”.

While the UK Government has introduced legislation stating care home staff must be jabbed.

The Covid vaccine does not contain animal products, but all medications currently go through animal testing.


Ethical veganism was ruled to be a protected characteristic at a tribunal last year.

It means any employers would risk legal action if they order staff to be vaccinated.

A spokesman for Lewis Silkin, a law firm, told the Telegraph: “Some ethical vegans may disagree with vaccinations on the basis that they will inevitably have been tested on animals.

“Ethical veganism has previously been found to amount to a belief, capable of being protected.”

The protections mean that vegans and people in other categories, including some religious groups as well as those with certain disabilities or medical conditions, could mount a claim of constructive dismissal if forced to get the jab.

I'd want to see documented proof someone is a vegan.

Oof.

I know vegans who have really had to struggle through the ethical ramifications of medications before, it can be an honestly messy quandary that I do not envy the UK ones having to go through when deciding what to do.
